The Grand Prize Winner

“Johnny, Marie hurry up “my mother said as she was grabbing her keys and walking out the door. It was my first time to go to the carnival and I was so excited, I couldn’t wait to go ride the rides and play the games. My big brother Johnny had been messing with me all day about you’re going to be scared to ride the rides which I knew I wasn’t going to. As soon as we got to the carnival I told my mom give me some money so I can go buy some tickets and go ride the carnival rides (I was so excited), but of course my mom said no and that I had to wait until we got to the ticket holder. My little sister Marie started crying of all of the commotion at the carnival. Finally we got to the ticket holder and me and my brother started running to the rides ,one after the other we were having so much fun that I felt butterflies in my stomach on some of the rides after the rides we went to the games which was my favorite part. We went to my favorite game the Ring toss and that was the game I had always won at. Well we went to the ring toss and of course I was first up, my mom said believe in yourself Tim and you’ll get the ring on the bottle sure enough I took a deep breath and “whoosh” there the ring went going onto the bottle “YES” I yelled out loud and everybody cheered me on. The man said pick a prize any prize, shaking with excitement I said I would like the blue bear so the man gave the bear to me. After a great day at the carnival I thought I would get a good night’s sleep for tomorrow . While I was setting my teddy bear down I saw a very tiny hole at the bottom of the foot I looked closer to it and saw that there was a fifty dollar bill in there so I took it out and told my mom she said” you’re the Grand Prize Winner I guess”.
